Identify Account

whoami
Read-onlyIdempotent

Identify the account behind this token. Works with any valid token regardless of scope — call it first to confirm the connection and see which account (slug, status, owner e-mail) you're talking to.

A4.5/5.0
Behavior4/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnly, idempotent, non-destructive, closed-world. The description adds non-obvious auth behavior ("works with any valid token regardless of scope") and a workflow hint (call first to confirm connection), which is genuine value beyond the annotations.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Two tight sentences, front-loaded with the core action and followed by the auth/workflow caveat. Every clause earns its place.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness5/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

For a no-param identity check with rich annotations and an output schema, the description supplies the connection-confirmation guidance and hints at the returned identity fields. Nothing an agent needs to call it correctly is missing.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters4/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Zero parameters, so the baseline is 4. There are no inputs whose semantics the description needs to clarify, and it does not waste words inventing any.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose5/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb+resource ("Identify the account behind this token") that is immediately distinguishable from every sibling (get_stats, list_*, get_reservation). No ambiguity about what the tool does.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines4/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Provides clear context: "call it first to confirm the connection and see which account you're talking to." It names the recommended timing (first) but offers no explicit when-not guidance or alternatives — though no sibling could substitute, so the gap is minor.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
